Hailing from Chicago, Ari was first taken notice in the local aferhours scene where he perfected his craft and met some of his best friends and future colleagues. Since then, he has performed alongside international talent such as Delano Smith, Art Department, Maceo Plex, DJ Koze, and Moomin to name a few. His musical taste can best be described as both classic and and nuanced. In the last year Ari has devoted the majority of his time to producing music and you can already expect to see his releases on Klectik, Tanzbar, Snubb Records, and Legotek. Ari is also the creative director of the Sordid Culture podcast series which focuses on deep and driving underground artists worldwide.
